Eberhardt TRAVEL

What Eberhardt TRAVEL does

Eberhardt TRAVEL is a private German travel agency and tour operator operating as Eberhardt TRAVEL GmbH and headquartered in Kesselsdorf near Dresden. The company sells organized travel programs to individual leisure travelers, solo travelers, clubs and associations, school and youth groups, corporate and incentive buyers, business travelers, and travelers requiring accessibility. Its portfolio includes worldwide guided round trips, river and ocean cruises, single-traveler tours, cycling and hiking trips, spa and wellness travel, mountain and beach vacations, holiday and festival travel, city breaks, study tours, self-drive rental-car tours, group and association travel, event travel, wheelchair-accessible trips, business travel, and motorcoach rental.

The operating model is a curated package-tour and catalog model rather than a proprietary software platform. The website provides searchable itineraries, online booking, account and wishlist functions, catalog and newsletter ordering, travel blog/video content, and WhatsApp, email, phone, and in-office contact; the input data discloses no API, app-store app, AI products, or proprietary technology stack. Cruise packages rely on partner supply from lines including A-ROSA, nicko cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Hurtigruten, TUI Cruises, MSC Cruises, Holland America Line, AIDA Cruises, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Plantours, HX Expeditions, and Costa Cruises.

Revenue is transaction-based. Customers book per-person travel packages through company travel agency offices, telephone sales, the website, and partner travel agencies; pricing varies by duration, destination, accommodation level, and season, with examples ranging from about €1,178 for shorter river cruises to €11,998 for extended ocean cruises and land tours spanning lower-cost European trips to higher-priced long-haul packages. The company has 101-250 employees, global destination coverage across all continents, and a mix of consumer and group/B2B use cases.
